Years ago I was reading one of my favorite blogs and she mentioned that she was doing the 25 books of Christmas with her kiddos. I have always loved the idea and when we had Liam I started planning it! See the idea of buying 25 books at once is kind of daunting. So I planned. I found all 25 books we wanted to use and added them to my Amazon cart, then over the period of a month purchased them. I will say you can buy them all at once as well, this is just what we did. The good thing is Liam will be 10 months at Christmas and I feel like these books can last us at least 3-4 years. We may sub in a few each year, but then after Christmas we can pack them away with the rest of our holiday decor and pull them out again next year. We bought Liam a big Santa Bag from Pottery Barn Kids last year after Christmas and plan to put the books in the bag and pull one out each night. Next year we will let him pick!
I have done this with my kids and love it! It is a great tradition! You definitely did it right by planning. I used a combination of Amazon and local resale shops to find my books. Have a great holiday season!
I did 25 books for Advent with my kiddos last year! Now the only problem that I have is that we have so many of the best Christmas books that I am running out of titles to buy lol!
I always LOVED reading Christmas books growing up! My aunt and uncle wrote a book for their nieces and nephews and bringing in some of our Swedish ancestry that was a Christmas countdown. We read one chapter every night leading up to Christmas. It was my absolute favorite thing growing up!
Yes ..saw this idea of 25 books for Christmas somewhere before . Glad you bought these books . We love books and Picture books are the best . Iam sure you will enjoy these books for many years .
I️ absolutely love this idea! I don’t have kiddos of my own, but my sisters are using this idea for my nephews this year. You have a great selection of books too. Have fun reading all of them!
We have this tradition and I love it! I did a blog post with some of our favorite holiday books two years ago. We always go to the library and check out books to add into our collection just to get some new, fun books without breaking the bank.
There’s nothing better than Christmas books! 🙂

Such a cute book list! We should start a Christmass library too… such a great idea, thank you 🙂
I love the Llama Llama book series. I haven’t read this Christmas one but now I know what to include on my daughter’s list from Santa.
Perfect! I needed some odeas for good books this season 🙂

I like the concept, but it would be nice if you had some commentary on more of the books.
The itsy bitsy reindeer is my favorite!! This is such a cute roundup of books.

I would love to do this with future kids, and putting the books in one of those Santa sacks is a brilliant idea.
I’d love to add some of these to our Christmas collection! Reading one each night is going to be super fun.
So many great titles! We have a few of these in our collection already. I try to give each of my kids a book at Christmas so this gives me some ideas

these are perfect! We love adding to our Christmas book collection each year!
Oooooo so many awesome book suggestions!!!! My daughter is all about reading, so I will have to get her a few of these books!
That’s an amazing list! I’m always on the hunt for books for my children. I don’t think we have any Christmas themed books at all.
As an educator I always promote giving books as gifts or reading with your kids. These are some great titles.
I love to read! Christmas books are great gift ideas. I remember reading so many as a kid. Thanks for the ideas. 🙂
